Original Title: Berlin – Die Sinfonie der Großstadt
Directed by: Walther Ruttmann
Synopsis: A fascinating look at a day in the city of Berlin through footage set to music.
Reality Cats: A few cats are seen throughout the film. In the morning segment, a black and white cat is walking down a sidewalk, pausing momentarily to sniff at something.
Also in the morning segment is a small black cat who appears as a man is emptying a bucket of water into the street. The cat moves on as a man mounts a bicycle in the background and rides away.
The poorer side of town is represented by a tabby cat looking in a garbage can for food.
Purr Blur: Harder to spot is a tabby and white cat behind a man who is sweeping.
Final Mewsings: All great cities include cats!
